[QUOTE="NodakPaul, post: 224953, member: 1127"] For the record, the Vikings pass defense isn't as horrible as some like to believe. I know you guys like to think that because you go to the stats page and see that Minnesota was last in passing yards against. I assume that most of you are smart enough to look at the stats as a whole, instead of just one particular column. For instance, the Vikings had the most passing yards against with 4225. However, if you look at the yards per completion (4225 / 415) = 10.18. If you compare this to the rest of the NFL, they are 11th. This fits in with the Viking's bend-don't-break idea. Don't give up the long pass, let them go underneath, and get pressure on the QB to force INTS and incompletes. Unfortunately, that last part was lacking the past coupe of years. BTW, in case you are curious, the Pack's D have one of the lowest completion percentages. But they are 28th in yards per completion. That means if you catch the ball against the pack, it will likely be for a good gain. Here is the complete list: Team colts 8.504615385 titans 9.131805158 tb 9.185185185 steelers 9.671232877 pats 9.684713376 reskins 9.754985755 lions 9.789099526 cowboys 9.967836257 chargers 10.09467456 panthers 10.16617211 vikings 10.18072289 texans 10.19944598 cardinals 10.29362881 bengals 10.44475921 seahawks 10.52552553 49ers 10.55942029 jags 10.70846395 giants 10.73462783 bills 10.7740113 bears 10.81049563 browns 10.82647059 falcons 10.87797619 jets 10.91349481 chiefs 10.94927536 eagles 11.05448718 broncos 11.08960573 rams 11.36163522 packers 11.41016949 raiders 12 saints 12 ravens 12.13993174 dolphins 12.47520661 Now don't read me wrong, I recognize that the pass defense was the weak link on the Vikings D last year.
